I was so glad for a sequel to the first Devon book. I loved DDSTKB and Lauren Barnholdt's writing is hilarious. Devon's voice is distinctive and she's funny, sassy and an original character. Her angst over boys (and getting a cell phone) is so real and like Barnholdt's other books, this is a must read.

I love this book!!! Greatest book i've read so far! i got lost into the book immediately. i spent most of my time reading this wonderful book. i read the other two books, but this book is the best book yet. im hoping Lauren Barnholdt will make other fabulous books!

its very good. i enjoyed reading the first one and i am happy that this one was just as good.

Disclaimer: I read this book without reading the first Devon Delaney book, so I was not invested in the main character at all. But a handy summary in the first part of the book filled me in on Devon's background. Given those experiences, I really didn't think much of Devon, who continues to lie at every opportunity, even over relatively trivial matters, to parents, friends, and boyfriend. I imagine she is supposed to come off as emotionally confused and charming, but to me, she seemed selfish, shallow and lazy. I like that Lauren Barnholdt tackles topical teen/preteen concerns, but this book left me feeling puzzled by the Devon love. I much prefer Four Truths and a Lie, or any of the books by Wendy Mass or Lauren Myracle.
